## Executive Summary

Above Security sells an insider risk platform to organizations with 1,000 or more employees. Its AI agents analyze how employees and their AI agents behave across identity, endpoint, SaaS, and AI systems, then turn each signal into a finished investigation. Founded in 2025, it names Merlin Entertainments, AlphaSense, and Temco Logistics as customers, and Ynetnews quotes Merlin's security chief saying it helped identify incidents that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. It has raised 50 million dollars, its Series A led by Ballistic Ventures, Merlin Ventures, and Norwest, and CrowdStrike later invested several million more. CTech counted 10 employees at that round. The engineering that correlates that behavior and scores what a person meant to do is the hardest part of Above to copy.

## Market Readiness

How well the company can compete in its security market, scored across eight dimensions against public evidence.

**Established (25/40)**

Analyzed 2026-09-21. Scope: whole company.

| Dimension | Score | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Problem Clarity | 3/5 | Above names its buyer as organizations with 1,000 or more employees in SaaS-forward environments. It states the pain concretely, from an AI agent acting for an employee to 900 or more staff at AlphaSense using unapproved ChatGPT accounts against 200 licences. CTech and Ynetnews describe rising insider risk in their own words while the 45 percent human-error figure reaches Ynetnews as IBM data the company cited, so the problem is clear and vendor-measured. \[[s19](#profile-analysis-sources), [s4](#profile-analysis-sources), [s8](#profile-analysis-sources), [s23](#profile-analysis-sources), [s25](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Capability Depth | 3/5 | Above documents the mechanism in detail: five named investigative agents, the Arbiter engine that scores intent, a case workspace with per-case access control and logged exports, and guidance offered in the flow of work. No documentation portal, trial, or third-party technical evaluation appears in the reviewed record, and the 15-minute time to a finished case and 98 percent precision are the company's own measurements. \[[s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s2](#profile-analysis-sources), [s16](#profile-analysis-sources), [s9](#profile-analysis-sources), [s19](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Market Timing | 3/5 | The enabler is credible and dated to 2026: AI agents hold OAuth-scoped access and act for employees, and CTech reported in August 2026 that insider risk is climbing the security agenda as enterprises adopt AI. The buyer-side evidence in the reviewed record is Above's own customer accounts and its own framework work, one kind of signal rather than several. \[[s4](#profile-analysis-sources), [s23](#profile-analysis-sources), [s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s22](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Team Credibility | 3/5 | Amir Boldo founded Trullion and led R&D as founding SVP at Silverfort, the one in-domain build the record names, and Aviv Nahum co-founded Ctrl and led it as CTO until Sana acquired it. CTech reports Nahum as a veteran of Unit 81 and Boldo as a veteran of Unit 8200, both with previous exits. The Ctrl sale is the exit the record identifies, so the pair is senior with one in-domain build behind it. \[[s3](#profile-analysis-sources), [s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s23](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| GTM Proof | 4/5 | Above publishes three customer accounts, Merlin Entertainments, AlphaSense and Temco Logistics, and Merlin's CISO speaks publicly about behavioral timelines and incidents surfaced within days. CTech reports in its own voice that CrowdStrike invested several million dollars and that the platform integrates with Falcon, and CrowdStrike's own release names Above runner-up in its accelerator. That is multiple named references plus partnership motion, multiply sourced. Rung 5 needs revenue or customer scale an outside party reports, and none appears. \[[s6](#profile-analysis-sources), [s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s30](#profile-analysis-sources), [s25](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Funding Efficiency | 2/5 | Above raised 50 million dollars within eight months of founding, with 10 employees at the Series A, and CTech sizes the later CrowdStrike Falcon Fund investment at several million dollars. The company states substantial revenue across its first six months and discloses no figure, so the capital outruns the commercial results the record can verify. \[[s23](#profile-analysis-sources), [s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s19](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Category Clarity | 4/5 | Third parties place Above in insider risk management without the company's framing. CTech headlines insider threats climbing the security agenda, CrowdStrike's release credits it for managing insider risk with AI agents, and the IT-Harvest vendor list files it under AI-native insider risk management. Above argues investigation rather than detection inside it. \[[s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s30](#profile-analysis-sources), [s31](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Incumbent Defensibility | 3/5 | Continuous intent reasoning across identity, endpoint, SaaS, and AI activity contrasts with the quarterly cadence Above attributes to DTEX, and completed investigations now stream back into CrowdStrike Falcon. That relationship is distribution into the buyer rather than a moat, and the reviewed record names no retained data asset or compliance position an incumbent would have to reproduce. \[[s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s21](#profile-analysis-sources), [s11](#profile-analysis-sources), [s5](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |

### Business Risks

- Above publishes its customer accounts itself, and Ynetnews carries a launch-day quote from Merlin. If no independent account of a deployment appears within a year, buyers comparing vendors have little beyond the company's own material.
- CrowdStrike supplies capital through the Falcon Fund, telemetry through Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, and a route to its own customers. If CrowdStrike ends the integration, Above loses the telemetry route and the distribution it announced in August 2026.
- DTEX, Proofpoint, and Cyberhaven Above argues against each on its own comparison pages. Any of them can add AI-assembled investigations.
- The cited probe found that trust.above.security and security.above.security did not resolve on 2026-09-21, and the served site linked no trust centre. Enterprises that route insider investigations through a vendor will ask for that evidence in procurement.
- Above reads communications tone across collaboration tools.
- The company sells a managed service delivered by software agents. If customers need human investigators from Above as deployments grow, the cost of delivery rises with revenue.

### Problem & Market

Above Security sells insider risk as an investigation problem and names the buyer it wants. The funding release states that the platform targets organizations with 1,000 or more employees operating in SaaS-forward environments. Security, HR, and legal teams work the same case in role-scoped views, which matches where insider matters end, in an HR conversation or a legal process rather than in a queue.

Independent coverage describes the same pain without measuring it. CTech reports that insider threats are climbing the security agenda as enterprises adopt AI, and Ynetnews reports growing insider threats driven by AI systems inside organizations. Ynetnews attributes the 45 percent human-error share to IBM data the company cited, so the quantified part of the argument still comes from Above.

The agentic-insider claim is the sharpest piece and the most specific. Above's use-case page argues that an AI agent acting on behalf of an employee is itself a class of insider, and its own FAQ counts agentic insiders as one of five types. The AlphaSense story puts a number on the shadow-AI half of that problem, with more than 900 employees using unapproved ChatGPT accounts against 200 approved licences. \[[s19](#profile-analysis-sources), [s4](#profile-analysis-sources), [s8](#profile-analysis-sources), [s23](#profile-analysis-sources), [s25](#profile-analysis-sources), [s1](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Product Capabilities

A fleet of named agents that hands over a finished case is the product. The homepage names five specialized agents covering shadow AI and IT, data exfiltration, flight risk, inappropriate use, and communications, and describes each as purpose-built for one class of threat. The funding release adds the Arbiter engine, which the company says determines intent by correlating behavioral signals the way a human investigator would.

The case, rather than the alert, is the unit of output. The investigation workspace ranks cases by risk, keeps the timeline and evidence with the case, logs every view, edit, and export as tamper-evident, and scopes access per case so HR and legal see only what their role allows. A second surface intervenes earlier, offering the company-approved path at the moment a risky share takes shape.

Coverage extends to machine actors and to the tools the customer already runs. Above says its agents cover employees, contractors, custom GPTs, OAuth-scoped agents, and personal AI, and the integrations page lists identity, endpoint, cloud, SaaS, AI, and people systems it pulls events from.

What Above offers a technical evaluator is a demonstration and two of its own numbers. No documentation portal or trial appears in the reviewed record, and the two figures Above advertises, roughly 15 minutes to a finished case and roughly 98 percent true-positive precision, are its own measurements. \[[s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s2](#profile-analysis-sources), [s16](#profile-analysis-sources), [s9](#profile-analysis-sources), [s19](#profile-analysis-sources), [s5](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Competitive Positioning

Above argues against the rules-and-anomalies generation by name on its own pages. Its comparison pages set the product against DTEX, Proofpoint ITM, and Cyberhaven, and a fourth page runs against any classic insider risk software, opening on Teramind's screen and keystroke recording. The homepage makes the same argument by category, contrasting Above with data loss prevention, access management, SIEM and SOAR, UEBA, and CASB.

The claims about rivals are Above's own, and they are the kind a buyer should test. The DTEX page states that real investigations there mean buying the i3 analyst service, capped per tier each year. The Proofpoint page describes endpoint recording with screen captures and keystrokes. The Cyberhaven page describes file tracing that still leaves the investigation to the customer's analysts. No independent source in the reviewed record evaluates any of those comparisons.

The CrowdStrike relationship changes the competitive picture more than any of those pages. Above correlates Falcon Next-Gen SIEM endpoint, identity, and third-party data into cases and streams completed investigations back into Falcon, so buyers meet its output inside a console they already operate. Microsoft, whose Entra identity signals appear on Above's integrations page, sits on the other side of that logic as a platform whose telemetry Above reads. \[[s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s11](#profile-analysis-sources), [s12](#profile-analysis-sources), [s13](#profile-analysis-sources), [s32](#profile-analysis-sources), [s5](#profile-analysis-sources), [s21](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Go-to-Market & Traction

Named customer stories are the traction Above publishes itself. Case studies cover Merlin Entertainments, AlphaSense, and Temco Logistics, each with a quoted customer voice, and Temco's states that deployment took about 15 minutes. Ynetnews carries the Merlin Entertainments CISO saying the system surfaced incidents that would otherwise have gone unnoticed, which reaches an independent outlet as the customer's words rather than as reporting on a deployment.

The partnerships are the part of the record that does not come from Above alone. Above's partners page describes reseller, technology-alliance, and business-development programmes, names resellers as the primary focus today, and routes partners to a named channel manager. CrowdStrike's Falcon Fund invested in August 2026, CTech sizing it at several million dollars, and a separate technology partnership with Upwind connects insider-risk signals to cloud runtime activity.

Recognition still runs ahead of disclosed commercial results. CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA named Above runner-up in their 2026 startup accelerator for replacing alerts with investigative narratives, and the company sells through demos and events. No cited source states a customer count or a revenue figure. \[[s7](#profile-analysis-sources), [s8](#profile-analysis-sources), [s10](#profile-analysis-sources), [s6](#profile-analysis-sources), [s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s25](#profile-analysis-sources), [s36](#profile-analysis-sources), [s30](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Team & Credibility

One founder brings an in-domain build and both bring prior exits. Amir Boldo founded Trullion, led R&D as founding SVP at Silverfort, and held a VP role at DriveNets. Aviv Nahum co-founded Ctrl and was its CTO until Sana acquired it, with Workday later acquiring Sana. CTech reports Nahum as a veteran of Unit 81 and Boldo as a veteran of Unit 8200, both with previous exits, and the Ctrl sale is the one the record identifies.

Named staff beyond the founders now appear on the site. CTech counted 10 employees at the Series A in March 2026. The careers page now names a research lead, a global head of alliances, and a head of marketing, the partners page names a channel manager, and an open engineering role sits in Tel Aviv.

A named research group is the newest team signal. Above Theory, the company's research team, built the categories in the Synthetic Insider Threat Matrix with Forscie and is led by researchers Nimer Kees and Yonatan Machluf, both credited as contributors on the framework's own site. \[[s3](#profile-analysis-sources), [s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s18](#profile-analysis-sources), [s22](#profile-analysis-sources), [s23](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Trust Readiness

The compliance evidence a buyer can reach today is a footer badge. The site footer carries an ISO 42001 badge for the AI management-system standard, and no certificate, issuer, or scope appears beside it. A probe of trust.above.security and security.above.security on 2026-09-21 found that neither subdomain resolves, and the served site links no trust centre.

The product's own controls are documented where procurement will look for them. The investigation workspace scopes access per case and per evidence item rather than by blanket permission, pseudonymizes subjects until a reviewer is authorized to unmask, and logs every view, edit, and export as tamper-evident. Those are vendor statements on a marketing page rather than audited claims.

Above answers the surveillance objection in its positioning. The company sells guidance in the flow of work, offering the approved path when a risky share takes shape, and argues against screen and keystroke recording on its comparison pages.

Community standing is the part of the trust story that grew this year. Above has sponsored the Forscie Insider Threat Matrix since early 2026 as its inaugural sponsor, and extended that work in August with the Synthetic Insider Threat Matrix, which maps 166 knowledge objects for agentic incidents. \[[s37](#profile-analysis-sources), [s16](#profile-analysis-sources), [s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s9](#profile-analysis-sources), [s22](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Competitors

| Company | Relationship | Note |
|---|---|---|
| DTEX Systems | competes with | Above publishes a comparison page against it, arguing that finished investigations cost extra there. |
| Proofpoint | competes with | Above publishes a comparison page against Proofpoint ITM and sells against endpoint recording. |
| Cyberhaven | competes with | Above publishes a comparison page against it and frames data-loss tooling as the narrower job. |
| Teramind | competes with | Above names it as the classic insider-risk product in its legacy-comparison page. |
| Microsoft | adjacent | Above lists Microsoft Entra among the identity systems it reads telemetry from. |

## Strategy Deep Dive

A closer look at the company's product strategy, measuring how [defensible](https://zeltser.com/scoring-security-product-strategy) it is against market forces and examining the [eight areas](https://zeltser.com/security-product-creation-framework) behind it.

### Defensibility

**Exposed (12/21)**

Band guidance: pivot urgently. Analyzed 2026-09-21. Scope: whole company.

The hardest part of Above to copy is the engineering behind its investigative agents, which correlate behavior across identity, endpoint, SaaS, and AI systems and weigh intent. Customers that route insider cases through its workspace with HR and legal take on real friction if they leave, and how costly that move would be is not documented. The management-system badge on its site is one a funded rival can obtain. It publishes its agent research with Forscie for the whole insider-risk community. CrowdStrike supplies capital, telemetry, and a route to its own customers, and the benefit depends on the partnership continuing.

| Dimension | Score | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Value Delivery | 1/3 | Above describes the service as a fleet of autonomous AI investigators that hands the customer a finished case, and the customer's security, HR, and legal staff work it in the vendor's workspace. No cited source shows Above's own people making the judgment or accepting responsibility for an outcome, so software is the product. \[[s21](#deep-dive-sources), [s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Switching Cost | 2/3 | Integrations across identity, endpoint, cloud, SaaS, and AI systems, and case workflow shared with HR and legal build meaningful friction over time. No cited source documents non-portable state or sizes what leaving would cost, so the mechanism is documented and the migration is not sized. \[[s5](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources), [s7](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Compliance Moat | 1/3 | The site footer shows an ISO 42001 badge, and no cited source names a regulation that requires this product class or an authorization only Above holds. A management-system certification is ordinary enterprise preparation for a funded competitor, so it eases procurement without blocking a replacement. \[[s37](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Problem Complexity | 3/3 | Correlating behavior continuously across identity, endpoint, SaaS, and AI systems, scoring intent rather than deviation, and intervening while a risky action forms is specialized machine learning and real-time engineering. The record shows the same mechanism described consistently across the platform, the Arbiter engine, and the agent-as-insider use case, which is years of work rather than a weekend build. \[[s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s19](#deep-dive-sources), [s4](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Buyer Profile | 2/3 | Above targets organizations with 1,000 or more employees. The customers it publishes are Merlin Entertainments, AlphaSense, and Temco Logistics, and no cited source shows regulated-industry or government buyers. \[[s19](#deep-dive-sources), [s7](#deep-dive-sources), [s8](#deep-dive-sources), [s10](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Layer | 2/3 | Above reads telemetry from identity, endpoint, cloud, SaaS, AI, and people systems and gives three departments one case workspace, which is more than a single-purpose application. Completed investigations stream back into CrowdStrike Falcon, and no cited source shows other software depending on Above at runtime. \[[s5](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources), [s21](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Proprietary Data, Content, or IP | 1/3 | No cited source names a dataset, content licence, or granted patent that Above retains. Above Theory's research draws on what the agents see across live customer environments, and the company published that work with Forscie as a free, vendor-neutral framework, so the record evidences published research rather than a private corpus. \[[s22](#deep-dive-sources), [s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s19](#deep-dive-sources)\] |

### Strategic Market Segmentation

Above names its segment with unusual precision for a company this young. The funding release states that the platform targets organizations with 1,000 or more employees operating in SaaS-forward environments, which selects for companies whose identity, collaboration, and AI activity already flows through systems the agents can read. The persona design is the distinctive choice, because one investigation serves the security analyst, the HR partner, and counsel as a single shared case.

The published customer set now spans three named organizations. Case studies cover Merlin Entertainments, AlphaSense, and Temco Logistics, each quoting the customer's own team. AlphaSense is the most specific account, with more than 900 employees on unapproved ChatGPT accounts against 200 approved licences, which is the shadow-AI end of the segment Above sells to.

Geography follows the founding story. CTech and Ynetnews both cover the company as Israeli-founded, the funding release carries a San Francisco and Tel Aviv dateline, and the open engineering roles sit in Tel Aviv. \[[s19](#deep-dive-sources), [s7](#deep-dive-sources), [s8](#deep-dive-sources), [s10](#deep-dive-sources), [s23](#deep-dive-sources), [s25](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Product Capabilities & AI Advantages

The mechanism is consistent everywhere it appears, which is rare in a young vendor's record. Above argues that data loss prevention fires on movement and that UEBA baselines never capture programmatic reads, so both miss the modern insider. The captured product and funding pages describe the same mechanism: a fleet of specialized agents plus the Arbiter engine, which the funding release says determines intent by correlating behavioral signals the way a human investigator would. Five agents are named on the homepage, covering shadow AI and IT, data exfiltration, flight risk, inappropriate use, and communications.

The claimed AI advantage is continuous correlation across systems. Above says its agents investigate every signal the moment it appears and hand over a finished case rather than a queue, and the agents cover custom GPTs, OAuth-scoped agents, and personal AI alongside employees and contractors. The two figures the company advertises for that work, roughly 15 minutes to a finished case and roughly 98 percent true-positive precision, are its own.

What the record shows accumulating from all this is published research. Above Theory draws on what the agents see across live customer environments, and the company published that work with Forscie as the Synthetic Insider Threat Matrix, a free, vendor-neutral framework mapping 166 knowledge objects. No cited source names a dataset, content licence, or granted patent the company keeps to itself. \[[s1](#deep-dive-sources), [s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s19](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources), [s4](#deep-dive-sources), [s22](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Sales Engagement & Go-to-Market

Above sells through demos. The platform pages offer a demonstration, with no trial or price beside it, and the partners page describes reseller, technology-alliance, and business-development programmes with deal registration, competitive margins, and co-selling. Resellers are the primary focus today, and a named channel manager runs the conversation.

CrowdStrike's Falcon Fund invested in August 2026, CTech sizing the investment at several million dollars, and the partnership lets Above turn Falcon Next-Gen SIEM telemetry into finished insider-risk investigations for CrowdStrike customers. The company also partnered with Upwind in August to connect insider-risk signals to cloud runtime activity.

CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA named Above runner-up in their 2026 accelerator, and Security Boulevard reported that the August announcement named no general-availability date for the Falcon integration. No cited source states a customer count, a revenue figure, or a channel-sourced deal. \[[s6](#deep-dive-sources), [s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s24](#deep-dive-sources), [s36](#deep-dive-sources), [s30](#deep-dive-sources), [s27](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Pricing Model

No price appears on the captured platform and partner pages. No fetched source names the unit the company charges by, and that unit will define the business for a managed offering. Per-employee pricing would track the insider population a buyer already counts, while outcome pricing would track the investigations the marketing promises.

Two published signals bound the commercial model without pricing it. The platform pages state that all investigations are included, and the partners page offers resellers competitive margins and co-selling.

Cost behaviour at AI scale is the open question. The product promises a finished case in about 15 minutes, and no fetched source states how Above bills customers or reports margins. \[[s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s6](#deep-dive-sources), [s19](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Product Delivery & Operations

Near-zero-configuration deployment is the operational claim, and Above repeats it in its own customer accounts. The funding release describes enterprises deploying in minutes without writing a single policy, rule, or configuration, and Above's Temco Logistics case study states that deployment took about 15 minutes and that the opening report delivered value. The product pulls events from the identity, endpoint, cloud, SaaS, AI, and people systems the customer already runs.

Case handling is where the operational detail actually sits. The investigation workspace ranks cases by risk, carries timeline and evidence with the case, scopes access per case and per evidence item, pseudonymizes subjects until a reviewer is authorized to unmask, and logs views, edits, and exports as tamper-evident.

Procurement will still ask for documents that are not published. No SLA, status page, uptime commitment, or deployment documentation appears in the reviewed record. \[[s19](#deep-dive-sources), [s5](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources), [s10](#deep-dive-sources), [s37](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Earning Customers' Trust

The compliance evidence in the reviewed record is a footer badge. The site footer carries an ISO 42001 badge for the AI management-system standard, and no certificate, issuer, or scope appears beside it. A probe of trust.above.security and security.above.security on 2026-09-21 found neither subdomain resolving and no trust link on the served site.

The product's privacy design is the company's answer to the objection its telemetry invites. Above pseudonymizes the subject of a case until a reviewer is authorized to unmask, scopes each identity to the incident on a need-to-know basis, and sells guidance in the flow of work. Above makes those claims on marketing pages, and no audit of them appears in the reviewed record.

European deployment is the structural test the record does not address. Reading communications tone and AI conversations across collaboration tools draws works-council and privacy-regulator review, and no fetched source states how Above handles retention, residency, or consent in those jurisdictions.

Community work is the part of the trust story that grew. Above has been the inaugural sponsor of Forscie's Insider Threat Matrix since early 2026, and in August it published the Synthetic Insider Threat Matrix with Forscie, mapping 166 knowledge objects for agentic incidents into the same open framework. \[[s37](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources), [s9](#deep-dive-sources), [s22](#deep-dive-sources), [s1](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Platform Strategy & Ecosystem Positioning

Above works as a shared investigation workspace rather than as infrastructure other software runs on. It pulls telemetry from identity, endpoint, cloud, SaaS, AI, and people systems, and the single case gives security, HR, and legal one artifact to work from. That embeds the product in cross-departmental workflow without making other systems depend on it.

The ecosystem now runs in both directions through CrowdStrike. Above correlates Falcon Next-Gen SIEM endpoint, identity, and third-party data into investigation-ready cases and streams completed investigations back into Falcon, and the Falcon Fund investment sits behind that integration. The Upwind partnership adds cloud runtime context to the same case.

Third-party building on Above is still absent from the record. The partners page advertises reseller and technology-alliance programmes, no API documentation or marketplace listing appears in the reviewed record, and the shared vocabulary work runs through the Forscie framework rather than through a developer platform. \[[s5](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources), [s21](#deep-dive-sources), [s36](#deep-dive-sources), [s6](#deep-dive-sources), [s22](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Team & Execution Capability

The founding pair brings prior exits and one directly relevant operating run. Amir Boldo founded Trullion, led R&D as founding SVP at Silverfort, and held a VP role at DriveNets. Aviv Nahum co-founded Ctrl and was its CTO until Sana acquired it, with Workday later acquiring Sana. CTech reports Nahum as a veteran of Unit 81 and Boldo as a veteran of Unit 8200, both with previous exits.

Named staff beyond the founders now appear on the site, against the 10 employees CTech counted at the March 2026 Series A. The careers page names a research lead, a global head of alliances, and a head of marketing, the partners page names a channel manager, and the listed open role is an engineering role in Tel Aviv.

Above Theory draws on live customer environments. Above Theory built the categories in the Synthetic Insider Threat Matrix with Forscie, drawing on what the investigative agents see across live customer environments, and researchers Nimer Kees and Yonatan Machluf lead it. \[[s3](#deep-dive-sources), [s24](#deep-dive-sources), [s18](#deep-dive-sources), [s22](#deep-dive-sources), [s23](#deep-dive-sources)\]

## Disclaimer

This site is an experimental research aid created by Zeltser Security Corp. All its data gathering and analysis was performed autonomously without human review, and it can contain errors of fact, interpretation, and judgment that a human reviewer might catch.

The analyses are statements of opinion, not statements of fact. Machine analysis produced the scores, summaries, and matrix placements by weighing the public sources each page cites, and reasonable people can weigh the same sources differently. Where a page states a fact, it cites the public source and the date it was checked, and the statement is only as accurate as that source. Unless a profile expressly says otherwise, the analysis involves no hands-on testing and no independent validation of any company's products or services.

Nothing here is professional, security, legal, financial, investment, or purchasing advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to invest in, do business with, or avoid any company. Inclusion of a company is not an endorsement, and absence of a company is not a judgment about it. Reading this site creates no advisory or client relationship. Verify any detail you plan to act on against the vendor's current materials.
